MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING with Wendy Garrett

Learn about the benefits of Mental Health First Aid Training for you and your business.

In the UK, poor mental health costs employers up to £45 billion each year. When staff are experiencing poor mental health, the negative impact it has on their life and work is substantial. Looking after your staff’s well-being is ethically the right thing to do.

Why should your organisation invest in Mental Health First Aiders:

• Improve the well-being services offered to the team
• Provide additional support to the HR function
• Reduce the stigma of mental health and encourage people to talk about mental health
• Support staff who were experiencing poor mental health
• Reduce staff absence and accurately report the reason for absence
